Our Modern Prophet (so did Paul,A well known Heathen Poet call)
Doth, in the Muses Mode relate
This Nations past, and present state.
Shews us, in this Considering Glass,
What, shall hereafter come to pass,
According as, we do sulfil,
Or, cross GOD's manifested Will.
Shews by what light he doth behold
Those things that are by him foretold.
Prayes for the King, and minds him too,
In praying for him, what to do.
Some things, which to himself pertain,
He intermixeth not in vain)
Which will as much advantage them
Who sleight them not as profit him.
And by the number of the Beast,
Bounds the last year of Antichrist.
